Mad scientists raising the dead! Showgirls battling like wild women! What else does one need? Perhaps a scene where a cats head is squeezed until it's eye pops out? It's all here in director Dwayne Espers glorious 1934 debacle: Maniac! Whether you're a connoisseur of vintage exploitation flicks, or simply find them amusingly inept, this could be the movie for you. It's loosely based on Edgar Allan Poes The Black Cat. And when we say loosely, we mean Edgar wouldn't recognize it!
